Führer und Verführer

60 million people died in the Second World War; the Holocaust is the darkest chapter in human history. The film makes the Nazi era tangible for today's generation and shows the often simple means used to stir up propaganda. It explores the question of how Hitler and Goebbels succeeded in realising their atrocities and why the German people willingly followed them. The film was preceded by years of research in which every source was checked in order to capture the correct perspective for the film. In addition, survivors of the Holocaust have their say in the film, as documentary footage was used for some scenes in order to show the horrors of the Holocaust unchanged.
